STEWART (Central Press Columnist) WASHINGTON- More South meiicans countries will be coal ing into the war as United Na- ions, aa'ast the Axis. In gen eral, they wont be very active participants. They haven t the necessary facilities. However, they Linerwill declare hostilities. Washing ton hears from one or another through diplomatic channels al most hourly. Even though they're unlikely to do much actual fighting, with the exception of a little coastal patrol work and a bit of aviation, Uncle Sam appreciates the value of the alignment. Itll be fine now, from the standpoint of all-around mo rale, and itll be a grand thing for Western hemispherical relation ships after the war's over. We and our neighbors at last are on the verge of becoming really well ac quainted with one another on an exceedingly friendly basis. For immediate purposes, though, Brazil's bound to be our closest affiliate. This not only is because it's the biggest of the bunch, with suffi cient military strength to be more or less physically outright helpful. T ' n 1 nn kiuianuA a thai kul on ma.A hear so much about, which charac terizes Brazil, to the eastward into the Atlantic in the direction of Africa's westward bulge toward it, from the opposite point of the com pass. Naturally Brazil's bulge will be invaluable to us, as a base for operations against widely-adver tised Dakar, at the African bulge's extremity, in the event of its Axis occupation, with the connivance of Vichy, since it's a Vichy possession. Bulge To Be Familiar It behooves us, then, to devote a little especial attention to Brazil, and to its bulge in particular. It's not improbable that we'll presently find ourselves as familiar with that bulge as we are with Michigan's bulge into the Great Lakes or Flor ida's into the Gulf of Mexico. It shouldn't be forgotten that Brazil isn't Spanish, like all the rest of Latin America- It's Portu guese. ; - Between the Spanish and Por tugese I never could see any Con siderable difference, after several years residence in their respective midsts. In their languages they differ slightly in a few of their rival spellings. Illustratively, if a Spaniard wants to employ the equivalent of our word for "'mis ter," he spells it senor only, over the "n" he puts a little accent mark called a "tilde," which I can't produce because it isn't in cluded in any English type face- Anyway, it makes senor, plus the tilde, sound like "sane" and "yore" A Portuguese gets that same iden tical effect by spelling the title senhor, with no tilde. Yet Spaniards and Portuguese say they're as distinct breeds, as they both are from Anglo-Saxons, and insist that they can't under stand one another. It's bunk, of course, but youll acquiesce if you want to be tactr ful. Each maintains that the oppo site lingo is a dialect. We should learn these little wrinkles. Portuguese geography requires study also. Every Brazilian city has at least two names. The explanation is that they were christened by dif The World's News Seen Through The Christian Science Monitor A International Daily Newt pa per at Xrutlifnl Cocutructivc UnbiaMd Free from Scruational M Editorial An Timely and Iiutructiv and It Daily Featana, Together with the Weekly Magazine Section, Make tba Monitor an Ideal Newtpaper for the H.

Youll have noticed that news from the extremity of the Brazil ian bulge is dated from Parnam buco pronounced pern-am-book-o, with accent on the third syllable The Same City Yet youll have seen that same identical burg (everlastingly is dis patches, due to its strategic loca tion) refered to half the time as Recife, pronounced Ray-ee-fay and accented on the second syllable. The mixture's confusing. It's characteristic of Brazil, though. To the northward up the coast a bit (back from the point of the Brazilian bulge but an important port at the Amazon's mouth, where we're sure to be mightily busy) is Para, pronounced as in "ha-ha." But Brazilians all refer to" it as "Belem," pronounced as Bailaim, And don't say Bray-zill, as most folks do. It begins with "Brah." The "z" is a cross between '"z" and "th." Finally, carrying the emphasis, "eel" is the termination. And, for heaven's sake, don't speak of an "Argentinian." An Argentine is an Argentine. Or, if Balsam News The Balsam Lodge will remain open through the month of October, it has been announced by the man agement, to enable the guests to enjoy the late fall season. Miamians who are enjoying the perfect hiking weather are: Mrs. L. Earl Curry and daughter, Mim Suzanne Curry, Miss Helen Over ton. Mrs. F. B. Clark, Mrs. M. W.

Among : the new arrivals who are spending their first season here are Dr. and Mrs. Emanual Waletzky, of Chapel Hill. fication, she's an Argentina. Re ferring to one of 'em as an "Ar gentinian" is comparable to term- you're designating him as of thejing an American as an "Amerikm masculine sex, he's an Argentino i ian."
